It's that time again. Scammers are hitting our neighborhood. We last posted this 6 years ago.
Today, they hit the 7900=8100 blocks of South Calumet a few minutes ago. 2 women and a man, with orange jackets, individually going door to door They are asking to see/get your electric and gas bills, and claiming they can remove some charges.

Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking fast enough to take photos... but if you can describe them and the direction they are going, you can call 911 and they can send a patrol car.
Just some warnings/advice --
Just some warnings/advice --
- do NOT open the door -- use your screen door.
- NEVER give them any info
- Ask them about the last neighbor they talked to -- you will see if they are lying.. and if not, then call and verify with your neighbor!
- As soon as they leave, CALL or visit your neighbors! I was able to help one of mine with a quick text
Please forward to social media and other community leaders. Thanks!
